Famous quotes containing the words individual, classic and/or long:

    The primary imperative for women who intend to assume a meaningful and decisive role in today’s social change is to begin to perceive themselves as having an identity and personal integrity that has as strong a claim for being preserved intact as that of any other individual or group.
    Margaret Adams (b. 1916)

    On desperate seas long wont to roam,
    The hyacinth hair, thy classic face,
    Thy Naiad airs have brought me home
    To the glory that was Greece,
    And the grandeur that was Rome.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    And long shall timorous fancy see
    The painted chief, and pointed spear,
    And Reason’s self shall bow the knee
    To shadows and delusions here.
    Philip Freneau (1752–1832)
